"However, they are both understandably upset. They’ve both been though a hell of a lot lately.”

Le Vell, 48, has said he wants to focus on having a holiday and returning to the street.

He got together with 31-year-old Bianca in May after she stayed with a friend a few doors down from his house.

She was a source of support for the father-of-two throughout the trial and celebrated with him when he was found not guilty of child sex charges.

Corrie bosses are preparing for his return to the street in a Christmas special and have offered him a £200,000 a year deal.

He was suspended from Coronation Street when he was charged with five counts of rape, three of indecent assault, two counts of sexual activity with a child and two of causing a child to engage in sexual activity.
